  • Serving as a trusted liaison across Product, Engineering, IT, HR, Marketing, and Operations to integrate privacy considerations into technology development, procurement, and deployment.

  • Strong knowledge of regulations: Hands-on experience applying GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, and other regional or industry-specific privacy frameworks.
  • Proven risk management skills: Experience conducting privacy impact assessments, audits, and compliance monitoring, with the ability to translate findings into practical recommendations.
  • Cross-functional communication: Excellent written and verbal skills, with the ability to simplify complex legal concepts for non-legal stakeholders.
  • Attention to detail with discretion: Demonstrated ability to manage sensitive data and confidential information responsibly.
  • Organizational strength: Skilled at managing multiple initiatives simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
  • Technical fluency: Familiarity with IT systems, data mapping, databases, and core security concepts (e.g., encryption, pseudonymization, access controls).
  • Preferred experience: Juris Doctor from an accredited law school, international experience with cross-border data transfer rules, and certifications such as CIPP/US, CIPP/EU, or CIPP/C.
